Thanks Yellalee

Barely use siri so that's not much of a selling point for me. Had a great novelty factor for about ten minutes but soon wore off!

Just worried that having had an iPhone since they were launched I've become accustomed to the look and feel like you say, and am definitely fan of it. And because I have a mac and iPad (for work- don't hate me!) it's made things so simple in terms of easily accessing photos and music on all of my devices.

Still don't think that justifies getting the 5 though so will definitely look into the s3. Probably a stupid question since you have one but you would recommend the s3 over any of the other new smart phones out there?
